1. Business Environment and Results



(1) Operating Performance and Results



Overview



During this period the outlook for the Japanese economy grew increasingly
uncertain. The key factors behind that were sluggish capital investment, flat
private consumption due to the impact of harsh employment and income conditions,
and slowed export growth.



Overseas there was economic expansion in Asia, particularly in China, while in
the United States the pace of economic recovery lost strength and in Europe the
economy gave increasing signs of having stalled.



Against this backdrop, Toshiba Corporation took rapid measures to reinforce
Group operating capabilities. To that end, it threw its company-wide energies
into enhancing competitiveness and improving its cost structure through the
implementation of the "01 Action Plan," an emergency package formulated in
August 2001.



As a result, there was a strong recovery in areas such as the Electronic Devices
and Components segment, particularly semiconductors. This led to a 7% increase
in net sales, to Y3,408.2 billion, and an increase of Y275.1 billion in
recurring profit, to Y43.3 billion. Net income registered an improvement of Y
343.6 billion, to Y83.3 billion, and net income per share was Y25.9,
representing an improvement of Y106.78 from the previous term. Total orders
received by the Company rose 7%, to Y3,312.2 billion, and at the year-end the
outstanding balance of orders stood at Y1,047.1 billion, down 12% from the
previous year-end.



Export sales showed a year-on-year increase of 21%, to Y1,397.2 billion, and
constituted 41% of net sales, an increase of five percentage points over last
year. At the same time, export orders received rose 15%, to Y1,376.4 billion.



In view of the circumstances generally, the Company has decided not to pay an
interim dividend.



Toshiba will continue to implement its radical program of management innovation,
the main pillars of which are the transformation of its management systems,
business structure, and corporate culture.



Under the program, a number of changes in the business structure have been made
since the beginning of the term under review. These include the creation of a
joint-venture company for liquid crystal displays with Matsushita Electric
Industrial Co., Ltd. in April 2002; the integration of the power transmission
and distribution business into a joint-venture company with Mitsubishi Electric
Corp. in October 2002; and the integration of its cathode ray tube business into
a joint-venture company with Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. in March
2003. Also, in April 2003 an agreement was reached with Mitsubishi Electric
Corp. to integrate their industrial electric and automation systems businesses
into a joint-venture company. In addition, the Company undertook rational
reductions of procurement costs, downsized its workforce, reduced assets by such
means as the enhancement of realization of current assets and the sale of
holdings of equities and idle real estate, and radically reformed its corporate
culture through its management innovation activities.



During the year, Toshiba also strengthened its global structure for supplying
products. Steps included the establishment of manufacturing companies in China
for such products as notebook PCs and electrical equipment for rolling stock.





*       Information and Communications Systems



The e-Solutions Company was impacted by the decline in capital investment
resulting from the economic sluggishness in Japan, which led to declines in
systems integration business in support of IT investment in the government and
corporate sectors, and in automated information equipment for the government
sector. Therefore, there were steep drops in sales of servers and other
hardware, computer network systems such as basic software, and communications
systems.



In consequence, the Information and Communications Systems segment recorded a
10% fall in sales from the previous term, to Y290.8 billion, and total orders
received slid 15%, to Y279.5 billion. The principal orders received in this
segment included broadcasting equipment for Nippon Television Network Corp.'s
new building and the creation of a global code master system (for unified
component management) for Seiko Epson Corporation. The main products sold
included counter terminal machines for the Postal Services Agency and currency
sorters for the United States.





*       Social Infrastructure Systems



The Social Infrastructure Systems segment suffered a 6% fall in sales, to Y446.2
billion, owing to factors such as the decline in capital investment. However,
orders received rose by 5%, to Y492.2 billion.



The Social Infrastructure Systems Company generated brisk sales of
transportation systems, centered on railway-related systems. Conversely, sales
of electrical instrumentation systems to the government and corporate sectors
were sluggish, and sales of radar equipment and other radio wave systems fell
substantially. Principal orders received during the term included
station-service equipment for the Bureau of Transportation, Tokyo Metropolitan
Government, and electric locomotives for the Japan Freight Railway Company.
Major sales included electrical equipment for the Taiwan High-Speed Railroad, a
frequency converter for the Central Japan Railway Company's Tsunashima
substation, and electric-power equipment for the Shibuya Data Center of the KDDI
Corporation.



The Medical Systems Company achieved brisk sales of X-ray CT systems and
diagnostic ultrasound systems, and sales of diagnostic X-ray systems were firm.
Principal items included X-ray CT systems and diagnostic ultrasound systems for
the Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital, and diagnostic ultrasound systems
for the Tohoku University School of Medicine Hospital.





*    Power Systems



Orders received by the Power Systems & Services Company fell substantially,
owing primarily to the transfer of control of the power transmission and
distribution business, and a decline in orders for large-scale plants. Factors
such as the transfer of the aforementioned operations caused sales to drop
sharply, in spite of the fact that export sales rose thanks to the posting of
sales to Taiwan and other countries. As a result, orders received in this
segment fell 22% year-on-year, to Y311.9 billion, and sales were down by 14%, to
Y442.8 billion. Principal orders included steam-turbine power generating
equipment for Italy, and the modification of power generating equipment in
Kuwait, and principal sales included thermal power generating equipment for
Taiwan (sales divided over several years), and power generating equipment for
the Chubu Electric Power Company, Inc.'s Hamaoka Nuclear Power Station Unit No.
5 (sales divided over several years).





*      Digital Media



In the Digital Media segment, sales of personal computers were strong amid the
slowing in the market's expansion. Sales totaled Y1,162.5 billion, up 22%
year-on-year, while orders received also jumped 22%, to reach Y1,162.7 billion.



At the iValue Creation Company, Internet-related businesses continued to perform
well. Highlights were the "Ekimae Tanken Kurabu," a scheme providing information
and services relating to travel excursions and other entertainments via personal
computers and mobile telephones, and a service enabling companies to utilize
software on Toshiba servers via the Internet.



At the Digital Media Network Company, sales of DVD video players, personal
computers, and magnetic disk drives were brisk, but sales of color televisions
dropped off slightly, and those of optical disk drives were weak.



The Mobile Communications Company suffered a sharp decline in export sales of
mobile communications equipment, particularly mobile telephones. Domestically,
however, there were brisk sales of mobile camera-telephones with movie mail
capability, with the result that overall performance was favorable.





*   Home Appliances



At the Home Appliances Company, sales of washing machines and refrigerators were
sluggish as a result of price reductions, causing overall sales in the Home
Appliances segment to slip 5%, to Y122.4 billion. However, two products that
were well received by consumers were the "Kaisoku Ginga 21" series of fully
automated washing/drying machines that offer much-improved drying capabilities,
and the "Senzoko" series of refrigerator-freezers that use no CFC substitutes
and make the top shelf easier to use.





*  Electronic Devices and Components



In the Electronic Devices and Components segment, growth in demand for devices
for use in digital and other equipment buoyed sales of semiconductors. In
consequence, sales rose 18%, to Y943.2 billion.



The Semiconductor Company achieved robust sales of memories and system LSIs,
particularly owing to a rapid surge in demand during the second half for NAND
flash-memories for use in mobile phones. Sales of discrete ICs were also brisk.
Toshiba withdrew from the commodity DRAM business in April 2002.



The Display Devices & Components Company achieved firm overall sales.





*   Research and Development



In order to strengthen company-wide software-development capabilities, in
February 2003 the Software Technology Center was established as a corporate
support service division.



The following are the principal results of research and development activities
during the term under review.



*   Development of technology to accelerate Website access



Toshiba has developed technology that employs a unique method of compressing the
content of Websites on the Internet, thereby increasing response speed and
cutting communication costs by reducing the volume of data flow in networks.
Without the need to change existing Web systems, the technology reduces the
volume of communication data to only one-tenth of its former size, and cuts
response time to around one-third.





Trials manufacturing of a home robot able to converse with humans using
voice-recognition technology



Toshiba has experimentally manufactureda home robot with voice-recognition
technology that allows it to converse with humans, and with image-recognition
technology that allows it to recognize people whose features are already
recorded in its memory. The Company aims to commercialize it as a "robotic
information home appliance" able to give operating instructions to equipment
connected to the home network.





*    Development of 2-gigabit NAND flash memory - the largest capacity in the 
industry



Working jointly with an American company, SanDisk Corp., Toshiba has developed a
NAND flash memory with significant capacity - 2 gigabits, the largest in the
industry - using 130-nanometer ("nano" means one billionth) ultra-fine
processing technology. Future demand is projected for use in memory cards for
equipment such as digital cameras and mobile information terminals.





*   Development of automatic connection technology using BluetoothTM



Toshiba has developed automatic connection technology for equipment
incorporating BluetoothTM, the global standard for the wireless connection of
digital equipment. It makes it possible to continue to send and receive data by
simply placing two pieces of equipment at a distance of approximately 10 cm
apart for about one second. Projected applications include the settlement of
payments and exchange of data between mobile phones and point-of-sale (POS)
terminals, exchanges of data, and ticket verification between mobile phones and
terminal equipment at the entrances to stadiums, theater and similar
establishments.





*  Plant and Equipment Investment



During the term under review, Toshiba conducted selective plant and equipment
investment totaling Y88.7 billion in terms of the value of orders placed. This
was directed primarily at two growth areas: the Electronic Devices and
Components segment and the Digital Media segment.



The principal items of plant and equipment completed during the term under
review included state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities for system LSIs at the
Oita Operations, and state-of-the-art development facilities for super LSIs at
the Yokohama Complex.



Capital investment under way during the term included investment in
miniaturization facilities for NAND flash memories at the Yokkaichi Operations,
and equipment for increasing production of analog ICs at the Kitakyushu
Operations.





*  Fund-raising



The funds required for plant and equipment investment and other purposes were
derived primarily from internal capital and borrowing.



The Company issued straight corporate bonds worth Y130 billion during the term.





(2) Issues to Be Addressed



It is feared that the economic sluggishness in Japan will continue, and the
difficult operating environment is expected to persist as a result.



In view of these circumstances, in March 2003 Toshiba formulated a medium-term
business plan to cover the three-year period from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2005.
Its aim is to transform Toshiba Group into a highly profitable group of
companies, active in both high growth and stable growth businesses.



The plan classifies three core Toshiba Group businesses: digital products
business, electronic devices business, and social infrastructure business. The
digital products and electronic devices businesses are seen as high-growth
business domains in which Toshiba aims to establish itself as one of the
foremost groups in each product area. The social infrastructure business is seen
as a stable business domain in which Toshiba seeks to establish a stable
earnings base by expanding operations overseas, cultivating new lines of
business, and undertaking reorganization in conjunction with affiliated
companies in order to enhance operating strengths.



In order to put in place the structure needed to carry out this medium-term
business plan, in April 2003 Toshiba reorganized its in-house company structure
and created the following 10 organizations.



- Mobile Communications Company

- Digital Media Network Company

- Semiconductor Company

- Display Devices & Components Control Center

- Industrial and Power Systems & Services Company

- Social Network & Infrastructure Systems Company

- Home Appliances Company

- e-Solutions Company

- Medical Systems Company

- Network Services & Contents Control Center



In parallel with this, business groups were formed by bringing together in-house
companies and affiliates in areas with similar characteristics, such as pace of
business and growth potential. A business group chief executive officer has been
appointed in each business group to assist the President and CEO in overseeing
it , with the objective of enhancing group consolidated management by such means
as expediting the speed of management and assuring flexible allocation of
resources.



Other objectives of the plan are to enhance financial soundness, implement
capital investment in which priority is given to growth fields, commercialize
the results of development, and nurture the seeds of new technologies for the
future.



Another objective is to further enhance corporate governance through the
reinforcement of supervisory functions and improvement of management
transparency, and to increase operating agility and flexibility. To that end,
the Company has decided to submit a proposal to the  ordinary general meeting of
shareholders, scheduled for June 2003, requesting that the articles of
incorporation be amended to permit the adoption of the "committee system."



In addition, the Display Devices & Components Control Center, the Home
Appliances Company, the e-Solutions Company, and the Medical Systems Company are
to be spun off in October 2003 in a move aimed at switching to an optimum
management structure and enhancing business strength. This will be effected by
such means as pursuing rationalization and efficiency through integration with
affiliates,  expediting alliances with other companies, and enabling them to
adopt the management style best suited to their particular field of activity.



Toshiba is committed to countering its harsh operating environment by devoting
its full energies to securing and increasing earnings and to attaining a high
rate of growth. At the same time, the Company is dedicated to compliance with
laws and appropriate risk management and will endeavor to increase the
transparency of its management still further. For these endeavors, we ask all of
our shareholders for their continued support.

8.      Method of valuation of securities

         Marketable securities are valued at market value by the moving average
method.



9.      Method of valuation of inventories

Finished and semi-finished products are valued at original cost based on the
specific identification method, or at lower-of-cost-or-market method based on
the moving average method. Work-in-process is valued at original cost based on
the specific identification method, or at lower-of-cost-or-market method based
on the weighted average method. Raw materials are valued at original cost or
lower-of-cost-or-market method based on the moving average method.

method. However, for buildings acquired on or after April 1, 1998 (excluding
appurtenant equipment), the straight-line method is applied.



11.    Allowance for retirement benefits is based on the estimated amount of the
liabilities of retirement benefits and the assets of the employees' pension fund
at the end of fiscal year 2002.

         In conjunction with the implementation of the Defined Benefit
Enterprise Pension Plan Law, Toshiba received approval from the Minister of
Health, Labor and Welfare on September 18, 2002 to transfer the government
entrusted portion of the future retirement benefit obligations of the employee
pension fund. The entrusted portion of the liabilities of retirement benefits
and the related plan assets are removed from the Company's accounting record for
financial statement purposes as of the date of such approval. The amount
returned isY 339,034 million as of March 31,2003.



12.    Consumption tax is accounted for by the net accounting method.

Commercial Code Concerning Audits, etc. of Joint Stock Corporations," we have
audited the balance sheet, the statement of income, the accounting matters
stated in the business report, the proposal for appropriation of retained
earnings and the accounting matters stated in the supplementary financial
schedules of Toshiba Corporation applicable to the 164th fiscal year from April
1, 2002 to March 31, 2003.  The accounting matters which we have audited in the
business report and the supplementary financial schedules were derived from the
accounting books and records of the Company.  These financial statements and the
supplementary financial schedules are the responsibility of the Company'
management.  Our responsibility is to independently express an opinion on these
financial statements and the supplementary financial schedules based on our
audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards, procedures and
practices generally accepted and applied in Japan.  Those standards, procedures
and practices require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and the supplementary financial
schedules are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and the supplementary financial schedules.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements and the supplementary financial schedules.  We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit included procedures
applied to the accounts of the Company's subsidiaries as considered necessary.



As a result of our audit, it is our opinion that:



(1)   the balance sheet and the statement of income present properly the
Company's financial position and the results of its operations in accordance
with the related regulations and the Articles of Incorporation,



(2)   the accounting matters stated in the business report present properly the
Company's affairs in accordance with the related regulations and the Articles of
Incorporation,



(3)   the proposal for appropriation of retained earnings is presented in
accordance with the related regulations and the Articles of Incorporation, and



(4)   there is nothing to point out as to the accounting matters stated in the
supplementary financial schedules in accordance with the provisions of the
Commercial Code.





We have no interest in the Company which should be disclosed in compliance with
the Certified Public Accountants Law.
